BOYS BASKETBALL: JALEN PERKINS – RIVER FOREST INGOTS

The River Forest Ingots continue to have a great start to the 2018-19 campaign, thanks in part to the efforts of Jalen Perkins! Against Hobart last week, Perkins led all scorers with 17 points while shooting 100% from the free throw line. He followed that up with a 22 points performance in a win over Clark. Ingot coach Derrick Millenkoff calls Perkins his “workhorse” and says he “definitely bleeds cardinal and yellow gold”!
